REPUBLICAN ADDRESS.
;
We entirely agree in the oppinion
of the New York Time; that the adt
dress of the Republican Congres
sional Committee, just issued, is the
most important political document
of the year.. The address reviews
events since the accession of the
Republican party to poirer. 'The
course; of the Demoprats prior to
1861 is 'traced, not without many
.
eaustic , touches, and we can quite
imligine that the DemOeratic press
generally will pronounce the address
to be one of the worst ever issued.
The awkward point about it is that
there is no getting round ifs state
ments.; It deals with facts, and
there is no answer to -those facts.
It shows that the Democratic party
did not provide us with either' a
capable, powerful, or an economical
Government, It left multitudes of
errors to be corrected, and on every
hand bad work to be undone: The
great improvements demanded by
the pr.igress of the people were neg
lected, and it wns not until the Re
publican party came into 'power that
these improvements received ade
quate attention. There were an
army and a navy, but the first was
officered by men who "had been
educated in 'every soldierly grace but
that of' alleglar(-_ , ," and the latter
wai."scattered in remote seas" when
the nation most needed it. "In all
these years," tiar3 _the address, "the
national-char - inter' g r ad not raised an
inch. On the 6arttrarY,lthiough them
all it had fallen constantly lower and
lower."' Then came the remarkable
treat:.. 0 of 1861, and the rebellion.
_From that period'the record of the
Republican party has been one of
alpeost uninterrupted success. 'The
rebellion was crushed, slave
was 'suppressed, public credit has
been-maintained, the development of
the country has gene' on without
cessation, and at a rate 'never known
before. "It will reonire a great deal
of rhetoric,," rem the committe,
"to pprsiade the Entry' that it -is
being_ruined by a o.rernment which
in thirteen years 'has advanced its
credit.thoughout the money markets
of the world full thirty-three per
cent. and has_nearly trebled its sur
plus productions." A' very strong
appeal 1 . 61 the renewed support of
the people is Made, and the absurdity
of the cry that the "mission of the
Republican party has been accomp
lished" is shown. Much remains to
be done inreforming 'the currency,
in dealing with the vast question of
transportation, and in'securing fast
what has already been gained. We
have no doubt that i.; will have a
powerful ;ffect in reviving the old
enthusiaaM of the great party whose
achievenients.it recalls.

S. W. ALVORD
,A is pitable to mark the maniacal
rulings of that miserable, disjointed,
arid_ hopelessly abandoned political
organization known as the Democ
racy. Exhibiting as many 'shades
of complexion, and broken up into a
;greater number of crazy factions
than ever cursed the arena of French
politics, blackened by every crime
in the political calendar, and cast out
as-an incorrigible political reprobate,
it still has the brazen effrontery to
assume the attitude of a cringing
suppliant and plead for a restoration
of that confidence which, by an un
exampled course of corruption,
rascality, .and abase of power, it for
feited more than fourteen years ago.
We should be disposed to treat its
impudence with some ' degree of
toleration if it did - not descend to the
contemptible meanness of attempt
ing to cover up its own infamy by
the grossest misrepresentations of
the party disputing its claims.
It is not assumed- in vindication of
the Republican party that its admin
istrations have been absolutely
spotless and pure, or that its record
for the- past fourteen years shoivs no
single instance of official malfeasance
or abuse of trust. What we do'claim
is that the history of the world fur
nishes no such example of honest
determination to hunt out and,pun
ish with unsparing severity thd evil
doers within its own ranks, ad has
been shown by the party in sower
during the last few years. No rank,
however _exalted, and nc) influence,
however great, could stand between
the culprit and the severity of justice
when guilt was once traced to his
do-or.
We challenge the Democra_cy to
present a--single parallel .instance
during the whole -history. of. its an
preinacy. That party has been the
test in which every species of po
litical rascality has been hatched.
The most gigantic schemes of fraud
and misrule have been planned and
perpetrated within its lines, but in
no case has a criminal been exposed
within its own ranks and punished
by' its own hand.
When Republican journalds 'have
dragged its infamy to the light, it
has assumed an air of defiance and
gloried in its shame. And when its'
plunder and notorious peculations
could no kinger be borne, and an
outraged people have demanded the
exposure and ptinishment of its
crimes, with the aid of its press,
bribed and steeped to the ears in
corruption, it has done its best to
conceal and defend them.
And this is the party that to-day
is claiuoring for another lease of
power and promises all sorts of _ re—
form and blessing to the nation when
its claims shall be once more conced
ed. We have shown by repeated
exposures of its utter lack of con
sistency, honor - or truthfulness, what
the country is to expect if the
Democracy-shonld once more come
into power. We sicken at . the
recital of its infamy , as perpetrated
in localities where it has gained an
ascendancy.
In New Hampshire and Connecti
cut, power is shainelessly prostitut
ed to partisan ends, election, dis
tricts are gerrymandered to control
the ballot-box, and the predominance
of the oppressor is maintained in ut
ter disregard of order, precedent
and law.
In the South it is inaugurating a
war of races, and threatens to delnge
with carnage and desolation a large
section of the country now burdened
with debt and taxation—the fruits of
its
policy
own infamous misrule. If
policy in the South means anything,
it means the undoing of all that has
been accomplished , in the last fifteen
fears; it would'' throw back into order
chaos,
,and - - 're-establish slaitry on
the overthrow.of freedom.
Wherever we' look,'the Democracy
presents the same ghastly spectacle
of rapacity, oppression and wrong,
and by its persistent misdeeds gives
fair warning of what it - will do, if
again entrusted with the reins of
power. In Indians it foreshadowe
dishonor and ruin to the nation by
an increase ofpaper:money .and re
pudiation of the national debt.
In Connecticut the cloven-foot of
Tammany has been prominently dis
played, while in Louisiana and other
States of the South, a resign of, ter
ror is-threatened which will outstrip
all that has preceded it, in deeds of
violence and blood. The time has
,hardly come to entrust the interests
' of the nation to such a party as this,
and the time is far distant when E - ach
;a Mistake will be committed by the
people.
• 4 IN- •
„ DIPORTA.NT FACTS.
Notwithstanding the financial
panic -of 1878 the Republican Ad
ministration has carried on the
National Government most success
fully. With the crushing effects of
the panic and with the - revenues
largely diminished by the repeal of
ta'es it has, by vigorous economy,
paid all demands upon 'the Treasury
and reduced the tiublic debt nearly
Five Millions of Dollars, for the fiscal
year just closed. Nor is this-all. The
Republican Congress, resolved upon
all possible' retrenchment, has cut
down the appropriations for the next
•year by the large sum of Twenty
Seven millions of dollars. These are
facts that cannot be denied. And
they speak volumes in favor of the
party in power.
No PERsox,who is honestly regard
ful of the financial honor and integ
rity of our government can look
with compla(' , ency - on the destructive
free trade and financial policies which
the Democracy have put forth as
the basis of their preliminary move
ment towards the natinual canvass
of 1876.
A CONTRAST.
`:ado it 0:4 4;&.,D . ,j 1:EW54:4:4,11114
104:11.11
The Tribune has been pretty
good Democratic authority for the
past few years, mid we heartily com
mend to our readers who are prone
to find. fault -with the Republican
party the following article from that
journal. It inculcates the same les
son which we have sought td teach,
namely, that the beat way to eradi
cate evils in the party is by working
inside the oiganization. ' The foun
dation stones of our political struct
ure are sound and solid, and if bad
men sometimes erect an unsafe su
perstructure, the test by which time
tries all things will surely discover it:
"-The Democrats of New ifainp,
shire and Connecticut do not seem
to understand tLat they are the sub
jects of an experiment by the people;
that they are only temporarily in
trusted with power with a view of
discovering whether, after all, they
are wise enough to accept - its respon
sibilities and discharge its duties. It
is an experiment. that has been tried
on a small scale repeatedly daring
the" pastfifteen years, but always
with unsatisfactory results. The
Republican party has several times
been reminded of its -responsibility
to the people and recalled to a sense
of its duty and 9hligations by tem
porary reverses; end as many times
the experiment of trusting tee op
posing party : with just a little taste
of power has been ventured on. The
result has been invariably the same.
Temporary reverses have sobered the
party of- tbn Administration, and
taught its leaders to r , correct their
errors. It can be said of it, indeed;
that no party in the:history of the
country was ever so sensitive to pub
lic opinion, none -- ever so readily
obeyed the helm of popular senti
ment, as did the Republican party
for the first twelve years of its exis
tence. Whether that_record can be
continued is ' -au open question. On
the other hand, the _ effect of the most
trifling successes upon the Demo
cratic party, instead of steadying
them with the sense of responsibilityß
has - been rather -to sot them crazy
with: the desire for spoils and intoxi
cate'them with the plunder. There
has been_ no, exception to this rule.
The unprejudiced observer of our
politics cannot help remarking that
in the sense of being discreet, pru
dent, clear-headed, the-preserit dom
inant party has invariably shown it
self superior to its opponent.
The Democratic successes in New
Hampshire and Connecticut were not
due to any revival of confidence in
the_ Democratic party, or to any
change in political• sentiments of the
people of those- States. The most
ardent Democrat will hardly under
take to make any such claim. The
causes of the political overturn in
those States were so plain that the
weakest of wayfaking men could make
no, mistake in' reading them. - The
blundering stupidity and increasing
dishonesty of the Republican party
leaders in Congress did for the party
what no sagacity or strategy on the
part of its opponents could effect,
and it was through no strenth' or
wisdom of their own, but by the
weakness and folly of the Adminis
tration, that the Democrats, succeed
ed to power in the two States named.
They are not such fools as not to
know this. They must"see that they
have done nothing to regain public
confidence, that there is no new issue
upon which they as o a party have
taken - the popular and their oppo
nents the unpopular side and there
has been no change in, public senti
ment upon old questions that should
reverse the position of parties. The
fact of Democratic ascendency is
simply a vote of lack of confidence
in the Administiation. With 'this
state of facts so patent' as to make
mistaking them almost impossible,
it is a carious study to observe how
the party newly arrived at power
carries itself, It has been trusted so
many times before!, and been made
dizzy and drunken with it, that pne
would suppose the lesson might by
this time have been learhed—the les
son of steadiness and nerve. Has it?
In New Hampshire these gentle
men are showing their appreciation
of the trust reposed in, them by the
people by engaging in a wild and
drunken scramble for place and plun
der. As if the object of political
parties was political plunder, and the
only effect of elections to - turn one
set of men out of office and eve
another s u et their placei and salaries,
these people have devoted themselves
to upsetting everything and every
body in the State,and dividing among
_themselves_ the official plunder. And
• these poor, hungry wretches pretend
to believe that the party they repre
sent and lead has come.fully into the
public confidence,- and that the 'peo
ple looking on this horrid debauch
will not revolt from such a spectacle,
but will be ready - to open the , whole
country to it. They learn nothing
from experience. On a small scale,
so far as they had the power, they
did the same thing in that State in
1871, when a coalition of Democrats
and Labor Reformers was able to
work its will to a limited degree.
The taste of power they then obtained
intoxicated them, and • their selfish
and senseless attempts to grab the
offices disgusted the people,and gave
the State back to their shroider and
-more sensible opponents the follow
ing year. This year" they are again
drunk with powerand repeating their
old excesses. In ConnecticUt it has
been pretty much the same. . Last
year the Democrats' were only held
in check by •an opposition Senate,
which prevented their using their
victory to reward mere partisans with
high judicial positions. This year
they have had things all their own
way. and though the scramble for Of
fice has been less tumnituot6 and a
little more decorous than in New
Hampshire, there has still been so.
much of it and of such a .character
as to disgust sensible people. With
a little more regard for appearances
and a little more discretion than the
New Hampshire politicians have
shown, there has been still a very
manifest disposition to make the
most of the victory by,diyiding the
spoils among 'Party runners anammall
politicians.
.There is so ranch uncer
tainty with•regard to the future that
they are sager to make the most of,
what they , have already secured. A
short life and a merry one seems to
be the sum of their philosophy."

GOLD VS. GRAIN.
The transactions of Wall-street
were thrown in the shade by the
grairi exchange of Chicago on Friday
last. The excitement on Black Friday
was equ aled if not crxeelled, when
.the grain monopolists run corn from
62 cents to. 80 cents per bushel. It
may not be understood by all our
readers that transactions in graa
are made in the iiam; manner that
gold is bought and sold. For in
stance: A agrees on tho 15th of July
to deliver to B on the let of August
10,000 bushels of corn, at 62 cents.
The grain is never delivered, but if
corn adVances in price B pays the
advance; if it falls, A has to make
good the contract by paying over to
B ,the diffe,rence between 'the price
agreed upon and the rates at which
it sells on the day it was to / be de
livered.
.This will give a better un-,
derstanding of the following scenes
which occurred on the last day of
July at the Grain Exchange in the
grain city of the Vest, and will show
our readers that gold is not the only
"stake" in the gambling transactions
of the country:
"The greatest corner in grain (in
corn) which has over been known
hero culminated this' afternoon, and
many aro the " lame ducks " ;now
limping around.. In the morning the
combination kept quiet, and small
operators presumed they would leany
out s3me plan) to squeeze the shorts.
This they did do eventually, bat not
in the way anticipated. When the
board opened it was evident l that
dealers were on the tents ;hooks of
anxiety to witness the resat. They
manipulated every wire within their
reach fo turn the issue, but without
success. It was the last day of the
month, and July deals -were due at
2 o'clock p. m. - Not a moment later
would answer. The shorts were fever
ish, for the combiiiation were felt to
be pushing them on every hand. At
the opening the corner crew failed to
shoiv their hands, and this set every
thing
adrift and entirely demoralized
the trade. Oats and wheat were
nearly lost sight of in the anxiety
to make profitable corn sales. Cash
corn opened at 67, fell to 63, and by
11 o'clock stood at 62, and no buyers.
The dealers could do no more than
wait the posting of the day's receipts
in order to ascertain whether the ag
gregate amount would be enough to
burst the corner. It seemed to many
that rnv the combination were show-,
ing the white feather, and presently
prices went up to 631, and then to
64. - At noon it became known that
the corner had contracted for the
shipment of 1,021,500 bushels, and
this meant business on the face of it.
,The confusion and uproar were be
wildering. Dealers were — beside
themselves with excitement. From 6-1 ,
the price went to 66, then to 70, and
then Sturges sung out he would pay,
80 cents. The astonisment was so
great a death-like stillness prevailed
for a few moments. It took brokers
"square off their feet. When -the'
situation was finally taken in coniu
sion again ran riot. Amid frantic
yells and hoarse screaming, corn was
sold to . the combination by the bears,
and was accepted in as large quanti
ties as offered. One firm alone sold
250,000 bushels at 80 cents. When
the boarciclosed and the gong. sound
ed the signal for retiring, transac
tions were going on with unabatpc
fury. It was next to impossible to
stop trafficing. So infatuated had
dealers became, and so exciting was
the game they were playing, • that
they hold on as drowning men catch
ig at straws: ' Five minutes, to 3
o'clock came, and the dealers who
had their receipts on hand for pur
chases- made were rapidly wending
their way to Sturges' office in Monroe
street. Lasalle street and Washing.
ton street for two blocks either way
were filled with an excited populace.
Messengers ran here and there.
Dealers were not less excited.,. All
were, struggling to reach Sturges' of
fice. At this place the excitement
was not less intense. The office and
vestibule was, filled' with trembling
brokers, each anxious to make his de
livery and receive his check. -Finally,
the bell struck 3 o'clock and the doors
were closed, but the crowd of dealers
broke down the door and insisted
that the clock had been tampered
with. Receipts were brandished
fiercely rind threatening gesticula
tions, made, but all to no purpose.
The shorts stood around mopping
perspiration from their brows -and
easing their minds by good up-and
down oaths, then dropped- out one
by one, and went back to their offices
to cool off. The damage done to
brokers by their failure to make their
deliveries to the combination cannot
yet be definitely decided updii. A
day or two will tell the - story - Utter,
but it is said by-those claiming to
know that the amount not delivered.
is not short of six hundred thousand
bushels. A great number of small
dealers lose heavily, and` - will doubt
less have,tii suspend. There was in
store yesterday: 2,059,733 bushels of
corn, held mostly by the combina
tion. There were 1,500,000 bushels,
deliverable on options. The combi
nations it is estimated have fully 7,-
000,000 bushels under control both
hero and en route East. This corner
was first prophesied by the Times
early in Jane. Then a combination
was formed, eKtending from lows..ito
Liverpool, and taking in Chicago and
New York. , The object was to con
trol the market and -handle the bal
ance of the cropiof 1873, 'but there
was more corn in the country than
was anticipated ' and the deal was
not a winning one for Jane. Bat
they accomplished in July what they
failed to do in Jane. The parties
who figured most in this transaction
are four in number, chief among
whol is Jack Sturges, of Chicago.
E. K. Bruce is another successful one.
The Bank of Montreal furnished the
funds, and Jesse Hoyt & Co., of New
Yord City, handled the corm.
There was also a corner in oats
consummated today, which, under
other circumstances, would have
ranked as.a first-class 'sensation; but
it was so completely overshadowed by
operations in corn that it sunk to a
secondary matter and created but
little stir. The day, as a whole, *as
one of the most exciting in the_an
nals of Chieago grain speculation.

But perhaps, in- one instande, l we
should make an oxieption. IA few

shocking"to the fashionable world,
but something so unusual int e cur
rent events of-life' that it has een, a
prolific theme for the local pr • and
at the same time a g ood card or the

es
excited, and, consequently cr o p '.de of
people have 'been in nightly attend

witness the spectacle of the darighter
in-law of an aristocratic Admiral
dancing the can-can ' s with ail the

said, appeare to be more in rested
than the youthful husband w o sits

undisguised 'admiration at the scene.
• *lt is, to say the least, the manifes
tation of rather a singular taste; one,
we infer, that few would care to this
way , to acknowledge.
That it i s said
,and in this case it would seemitrutba
fully, that there is no accounting for
tastes. Doubtless the young nian is
proud of his, wife's accfmnplishments,
and still prouder of her appearance
as she flits before him in the 'gorge
ous splender of paint, powder and
pink tights. ' How long the fascina

but so deeply chagrined are his

Quite a number of 7. fine of ,;. Ken

their appearance 'at the hotels 'and in
the streets. What may be the hature
of their business' at this particular
'time, with the thermometer *ay up

fellow can find out ; " , but doratless,
under the circumstances, it must be
of an urgent character. It is, very
generally surmised, but perhaps un

changes anticipated at the Trpasnry
Department, there would be 'no ob
jections raised by some of theniW l be
.quietly settled into some snug 'n ook
or corner in the enjoyment.of a gen-,_
crone stream, of government pap _ ; but
the indications are that . the sinecure
positions which were specially ere

benefit of a certain few willje en
tirely abolished, and the Dep tment
in every respect condUcted on prin,

much fear4hat there will be more.
" soft places " in which a few riper
-1
anuated gentlemen, might res i , and
that Treasury rings will henceforth
find but little favor. It is knoiNthat
the Secretary, in preparing to place
i
the balance of the new loan i mar
ket; does not, approve of the epera
ations of the syndicate, , through
which, at enormous cost; the gevern
rnent bonds were disposed of in for
eign markets. He believes th t the
necessity does not exist foroing
abroad to find pfirchasers, an b
that
fzi,
the balance of the loan can 'dis
posed of at home, without inc li mug
the additional expense of sending
and supporting in European eitiesi a
great number of Treasury off i cials.,
He is in favor of allowing any persOn
to come into the Treasury andt hay
bonds; is opposed to the' law rgnir
ing bids, and; it is believed, will rec
ommend a material modificatiOn .Of
the law at the next session of Con
gress so as to cover his ,views. He
believes that by making direct sales
.
,ja
he can so popularize the loan that
the bonds can be disposed of i ' a
short time and among our owia l pee-'
ple. Under the law as it now ete,
m•o
purchasers have to pay a premir Of
two per cent. for the benefit of rok
er and

from making' investments that crier

In the' absence of anything, like
political excitement, and scarcely bey
fore the noise of, the last Presiden;
tial campaign had died away, -the
probabilities of a third term for Gen.
Grant are beginning to be , pretty
freely discussed. - Among the jour
nals which have recently taken up
the subject, none appear to be more
earnest 'than those of the District;
which are now devoting considerable
time and space 'to tho consideratien
of the question; but whether, reflect
ing any of the President's views npon
the subject, if indeed he has given it
a thought, is a matter of some doubt.
Judging from the tone and language
of some of the journals of the city,
which are strong in the support of,
the Administration, it would appear
as if they bad began to preiare the
way for a renomination. - Long. arti
cles have been recently given', to the
public, in which it would seem that
the object aimed at wail to 'remove
any objections that might exist in
the public mind. Whether this may
be accepted as an indication that the
President is expecting to be a candi
date for renominatida, and that the
Washington press speaks as " one
with- authority" upon the subject, we
are not prepared to say. It would
seem to be the opinion Of many that
the agitation of the question is rather
premature, and that it is fair to pre
sume that in the pommon course of
events, as the time is yet a long way
off, there may possibly be many
changes.
Whilel. the Republican journals
th,roughotit the .country do not ap
pear to hale very generally taken up
the discussion, we observe that the
opposition press is making most bit
ter and determined objectioiti.. They
doubtless feel that, poor and meagre,
as their ebanceS are for success under
any c ircumstances, they would be
still less so with Gen. Grant in the
field against them ; hence 'the outcry
that is , at once raised at the mere
mention of his name. I M.
Tns following paragraph rom the
Buffalo Express should be carefully
considered by the people of thiS
county at this time in - the selection
of candidates for all offices:
" Men who have been weighed iri
the balance and found* anting'shonld
be; set aside, and others more worthy
of confidence put in their; placesi
Those:who have given good iproof of
their ability and fidelity to the trust
committed to their hands 'Should be
triumphantly- returned. Su Ch men
are now before the country who, in a
comparatively brief Conmssional
career, have acquitted themselves in
a manner creditable alike to them
selves and their 'constituents! A re
newal of the confidence they have
so strongly justified is due alike to
theria and to the country at large."
THE Cincinnati - Enquirer is deekl
edly of opinion that the repndiation
plank of the Indiana Deinocratie
platform is so completely in the line
of the belief of the great balof the
Democratic party .that the Democ
racyl of 'nearly thirty Sta l es' will
li
echo'it " almost as inioluntarily ' tis
the hillsides echo the song in the
moonlight." That is to say theDen:i
ocratic party proposes to to 'take up
a theory which means national dia.
grace and personal,crime, and which
would justly bring us under the ban
0! dishimor throughout the qivilized
World, fashion it into a creed, and
mike it the vital charter of a great
people. What do you think 'of it, hon
